RESOURCE LISTS—COMBINED

This list of resources was prepared using the advice provided by the Course Advisory Committee.

This list is prepared in the following parts:

PART 1: INTRODUCTION/SELECTION PROCESS

PART 2: PRINT RESOURCE LIST

PART 3: WEB RESOURCE LIST

PART 1: INTRODUCTION/SELECTION PROCESS

Selection guidelinesThe selection of resources is the responsibility of each school and the following points need to be considered at all times: The lists are recommendations only and are not exhaustive. Each school should

decide on specific titles for their students in consultation with their school community and sector guidelines.

Some courses have set texts. Check the current syllabus. The recommended resources are to be used to support teaching and learning

only and not as a substitute for the syllabus; the syllabus is what is used to develop examination questions and all teaching should be directly linked to the syllabus.

Any selection process requires the use of the current syllabus. Syllabus documents are subject to changes. Users who down load and print copies of a syllabus are responsible for checking for updates. Advice about any changes made is provided through the School Curriculum and Standards Authority communication process.

The perspectives and views expressed in the resources are not endorsed as such but are provided for classroom discussion and comparison within the context of appropriate teaching and learning activities. Some resources need to be used with sensitivity and care.

Types of resource listsThe following resource lists are provided for this course: Introduction which includes Guidelines, Process, Professional Associations/Suppliers and Journals; Print materials; Websites and a combined list for printing.

Selection process

Step 1: Read the current syllabusCheck the School Curriculum and Standards Authority website to see if you have the current syllabus; check the eCircular to see if any minor changes have been made to the syllabus.

Step 2: Narrow the choice of resources to match the decisions made by your school. Check the following:

which stage/s does your school offer? P, Stage 1, Stage 2, Stage 3? which units? PAVAR, PBVAR, 1AVAR, 1BVAR, 1CVAR, 1DVAR, 2AVAR,

2BVAR, 3AVAR, 3BVAR? which units are being taught this semester/year? what is the focus of the units being taught? what are the context/s being taught? In Visual Arts courses the contexts are

suggested for all units. Check the syllabus for details.

Step 3: Some of these resources may be in your school. Check your library and the relevant learning area library.

Step 4: There are no set texts for this course.

Step 5: Selecting resourcesEach of the Visual Arts units has a unit focus or theme. The course content in visual arts units is art making and art interpretation. The focus or theme will determine the development of integrated teaching and learning programs which address the practical (art making) and theoretical (art interpretation) sections of each unit.

For example:The unit focus for 2AVAR is differences. ‘Suggested learning contexts’ provide starting points for developing a teaching and learning program. The Australian landscape tradition might provide the historical and contemporary context, and the focus for both the practical and theoretical sections might be realist and abstract interpretations of the landscape and/or White Australian and Indigenous interpretations of the landscape and/or historical and contemporary interpretations of the landscape and/or two and three dimensional interpretations of the landscape and/or interior and exterior interpretations of landscape and/or micro and macro interpretations of landscape and so on.

Step 6: Web searchesResources for visual arts units are readily available on the web. A single word search will often result in hundreds of thousands of references. The following web search course, Bare Bones 101, developed by library staff at the University of South Carolina will refine your search skills.
